Adjustment
1. Remove the center console (see Chapter Body).
2. Move the selector lever to the "N" position, then release the retaining clip on the cable adjuster assembly (see illustration first illustration).
3. There are two holes in the end of the cable. The holes are located at an angle of 90°, which allows you to adjust the cable in 1/4 turn increments. Make sure that the hole in the adjuster is precisely aligned with the corresponding hole in the end (see accompanying illustration).
4. If the holes cannot be aligned as desired, loosen the cable lock nut and make the necessary adjustments. Tighten the lock nut again securely.
5. Install the fastening clamp on the regulator. If the clamp jams when installing it, make sure that the cable is adjusted correctly.
6. Loosen the mounting screws and adjust the position of the indicator panel of the switch assembly until its marks are aligned.
7. Insert the mounting screws and tighten them securely.
8. Make sure that the white mark at the base of the selector lever is aligned with the "N" mark on the indicator panel (see accompanying illustration). If the marks are not aligned clearly, adjust the position of the panel.
9. Start the engine and check the correct operation of the selector lever in all possible positions. If you cannot select any of the driving modes, refer to the materials in Section 2.
